Abstract

Abstract Background The application of artificial intelligence (AI) in orthopedics is becoming increasingly widespread, particularly in the diagnosis and treatment of hip-related diseases. Although AI-assisted total hip arthroplasty (THA) techniques have reached a relatively mature stage, their specific role in preoperative planning for THA remains in the research phase. Current studies are generally small in scale, and their findings appear somewhat fragmented, making it difficult to draw definitive conclusions. Against this backdrop, a systematic review and meta-analysis on the application of AI in THA preoperative planning may provide a more comprehensive and rational answer. Questions/purposes Compared to traditional methods, does artificial intelligence (AI) offer more and better advantages in preoperative planning for patients undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty (THA)? Does it possess potential for future development? Methods We conducted a comprehensive and systematic search in the PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases, covering the period from their inception to October 30, 2024. This study adheres to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines and has been registered in PROSPERO[1]. The included studies focused on patients undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty (THA), with the experimental group using artificial intelligence (AI) for preoperative planning and the control group employing traditional planning methods. We excluded the following: papers published on preprint servers, unpublished studies, conference abstracts, and studies registered on ClinicalTrials.gov but not yet published. Ultimately, data were extracted from 15 eligible studies. To assess the methodological quality of the studies, we applied bias risk assessment methods based on the type of study. The revised Cochrane Risk of Bias tool was employed to assess potential bias in randomized controlled trials (RCTs). For non-randomized controlled trials, including retrospective cohort studies, retrospective case-control studies, and prospective cohort studies, we employed the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) for bias risk assessment. Due to the high heterogeneity among studies (I² > 50%), a random-effects model was used for the analysis. Results In the 15 studies that met the inclusion criteria, a total of 2572 participants were included. These patients required primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) due to various hip diseases. Among them, 1307 patients in the experimental group used artificial intelligence (AI) for preoperative planning, while 1265 patients in the control group used traditional methods. There were no statistically significant differences in the baseline characteristics of the included patients (such as age, BMI, preoperative leg length discrepancy, and preoperative Harris score) (P≥0.05), which ensures the reliability of the predictive results. According to the data summary and analysis, compared with traditional methods, AI showed superior performance in the following aspects: the odds ratio (OR) for acetabular component matching accuracy was 0.26 (95% CI, 0.20–0.34; P=0.009; I²=58%), and for femoral component matching accuracy, the OR was 0.25 (95% CI, 0.19–0.32; P=0.66; I²=0%). The matching accuracy was defined with a size difference as the acceptable margin of error. The mean difference (MD) for postoperative leg length discrepancy was -0.49 (95% CI, -0.59 to -0.39; P<0.0001; I²=77%), the MD for surgical time was -16.07 (95% CI, -18.00 to -14.14; P<0.00001; I²=96%), the MD for intraoperative blood loss was -45.91 (95% CI, -61.03 to -30.78; P=0.04; I²=61%), and the MD for postoperative Harris score was 0.83 (95% CI, 0.38–1.28; P=0.001; I²=70%). In addition, the OR for acetabular cup prosthesis prediction accuracy was 0.82 (95% CI, 0.51–1.34; P=0.0001; I²=89%), and the overall average prediction accuracy had an OR of 0.25 (95% CI, 0.18–0.35; P=0.93; I²=0%). Conclusion The results of this systematic review and meta-analysis indicate that artificial intelligence (AI) performs comparably to, or even better than, traditional methods in preoperative planning for hip arthroplasty. Compared with traditional methods, the AI group demonstrated advantages such as reducing surgical time, minimizing intraoperative blood loss, lowering surgical risks, and decreasing surgical trauma. These benefits help promote rapid postoperative recovery, shorten hospital stays, and reduce the occurrence of complications. Additionally, patients in the AI group had higher postoperative Harris scores, less postoperative pain, faster functional recovery, and better postoperative adaptation. AI-assisted preoperative planning for total hip arthroplasty (THA) also improves the accuracy of hip component matching prediction, reduces the likelihood of errors in clinical decision-making, effectively alleviates tensions in the doctor-patient relationship, and reduces the waste of medical resources.

Surgery Orthopedics Artificial intelligence (AI) Traditional methods Total hip arthroplasty/Total hip replacement Preoperative planning First-time. Figures Figure 1 Figure 2 Figure 3 Figure 4 Figure 5 Figure 6 Figure 7 Introduction Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) is a surgical procedure primarily used for elderly patients. With the increasing global average life expectancy and the growing proportion of elderly populations, the demand for THA continues to rise. In the United States, from 2020 to 2030, the number of primary and revision THA surgeries is expected to increase by approximately 50% [ 2 , 3 ] . In the United Kingdom, this number is projected to double by 2035 [ 4 ] . Other Western countries, such as Canada, Denmark, and Australia, are also expected to see varying degrees of growth [ 5 – 7 ] . THA has existed in some form for over a century [ 8 , 9 ] , and in recent years, with technological advances and optimized techniques, THA has been dubbed the "surgery of the 21st century," with its unique advantages being evident. THA has achieved significant success in alleviating joint pain, improving function, and enhancing quality of life [ 10 ] , with clinical outcomes being satisfactory, as the prosthetic survival rate over 15–20 years can reach up to 90% [ 11 , 12 ] . As a result, THA has become the preferred treatment for end-stage degenerative joint diseases and hip trauma. By restoring normal anatomical relationships and the biomechanical stability of the hip joint, THA plays a crucial role in improving patients' quality of life [ 13 ] . However, THA is not without its challenges. Prosthetic joint infections, fractures, aseptic loosening, and dislocation [ 14 , 15 ] are the main causes of surgical failure [ 16 ] . These issues may not be entirely avoidable, even for experienced surgeons, and are particularly key obstacles in surgical planning for most general orthopedic surgeons. Therefore, accurate preoperative planning is crucial to improving surgical success rates and reducing complications. Traditional preoperative planning mainly relies on two-dimensional templates [ 17 ] , which are limited by factors such as imaging angles and patient posture variations. As a result, the predicted outcomes are often influenced by the experience level of the surgeon. This reliance on experience often leads to considerable uncertainty, potentially resulting in surgical failure or poor short-term outcomes, which not only causes additional suffering for patients but also wastes valuable medical resources [ 18 ] . Hence, there is an urgent need for an efficient and accurate preoperative planning method. The rapid development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has introduced new possibilities for preoperative planning in THA. AI's application in the medical field is continuously expanding, with breakthroughs in data analysis and image processing [ 19 ] . In the field of orthopedics, AI's application range is expanding, particularly in the research and treatment of hip diseases. Although current research on AI in THA preoperative planning is still in its early stages, with many studies being small-scale and lacking persuasive power, the potential of AI technology is becoming apparent [ 20 ] . To better understand AI's role in THA preoperative planning, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of recent pertinent studies, focusing on the differences between AI and traditional methods in terms of preoperative planning accuracy and postoperative outcomes. By analyzing key indicators such as intraoperative blood loss, surgical time, postoperative leg length discrepancy (LLD), Harris scores, and prosthesis matching accuracy, we aim to address the following questions: Can AI significantly improve the accuracy of preoperative planning? Does it contribute to long-term patient recovery and a reduction in complications? What is its potential for future development? Our analysis may provide strong evidence to support clinical practice. Materials and Methods Our research follows the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. This study has been registered with the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO) under registration number: CRD42024619714. For the experimental group in our study: The primary method of preoperative planning for total hip arthroplasty (THA) using artificial intelligence (AI) is an intelligent planning system based on 3D imaging and deep learning algorithms. This approach leverages AI technologies, such as deep learning algorithms and image processing techniques, to analyze patient imaging data (e.g., CT, MRI, or X-rays), enabling automated prosthesis selection, position planning, and surgical design. The preoperative planning models employed include AIHIP (Artificial Intelligence Preoperative Planning System for Total Hip Arthroplasty), 3D-AIHIP, robot-assisted THA, and CAD simulative (Computer-Aided Design Simulation). For the control group: The traditional method of preoperative planning for THA is primarily based on the template technique using two-dimensional X-ray images. This method involves obtaining standard X-rays of the patient's hip joint (e.g., anteroposterior pelvic view and lateral hip view), manually analyzing the anatomical features of the hip joint, and using a transparent prosthesis template superimposed on the X-ray to determine the appropriate prosthesis size and model. It also involves planning the implantation position, orientation, and angle of the prosthesis, as well as assessing limb length discrepancy to formulate a basic surgical plan. Data Sources and Searches According to the established search criteria, we conducted a comprehensive search in databases such as Embase, Web of Science, PubMed, and the Cochrane Library. The search date ranged from the establishment of the database to October 30, 2024. We carefully verified the search methods used in each database to avoid any omissions. We also conducted a thorough summary of the search criteria and carefully reviewed the reference lists of relevant studies and reviews to find additional references. In these databases, we identified a total of 388 articles. After excluding 335 articles based on titles and abstracts, we further excluded 16 reviews, 19 duplicates, and 3 articles with inaccessible full texts or data that did not meet the research criteria, leaving 15 articles that were included in the qualitative analysis. The final selection included 2572 participants, with 1307 assigned to the experimental group and 1265 to the control group. The detailed search process can be found in the flowchart (Fig. 1 ). Inclusion and exclusion criteria The method of using the Patient Intervention Compared Outcome of Interest (PICOS) model is as follows: In patients undergoing their first hip replacement surgery (P), artificial intelligence (AI) (I) is compared with traditional methods (C) to assess whether AI is more accurate in preoperative planning than traditional methods (O). The inclusion criteria for our study are: (1) The subjects are patients who require their first hip replacement surgery; (2) The experimental group uses AI models for preoperative planning; (3) The control group uses traditional methods for THA preoperative planning; (4) There are clear intraoperative and/or postoperative recorded indicators; (5) There are no statistically significant differences in baseline information such as age, BMI, preoperative Harris score, and preoperative leg length discrepancy across the studies. Exclusion criteria: (1) Conference abstracts, reviews, and articles that are registered but unpublished; (2) Articles for which the full text is inaccessible; (3) Articles with data that do not meet the research criteria; (4) Articles that are repetitively published (for repetitive publications, we selected the one with the most complete experimental data for statistical analysis). After completing the search, all retrieved articles were first independently reviewed by one researcher (KW) for the titles and abstracts. To prevent selection bias due to factors such as personal fatigue or subjectivity, a second researcher (YD) verified the selection. Any disagreements encountered during this process were discussed, and if unresolved, a third mediator (GS) was involved to reach a consensus. Articles that were deemed appropriate for exclusion were eliminated. Then, the remaining articles were read in full, and those that met the inclusion criteria were finally included in our study. Data Extraction In the final included studies for statistical analysis, data extraction was conducted using Microsoft Excel to create data extraction tables. These tables were finalized after collaborative discussions among multiple team members. In addition to basic information such as title, year, primary author, age, BMI, sample size, and gender ratio, the extracted data primarily focused on intraoperative and postoperative details comparing the artificial intelligence group and the traditional method group. Key data points included the accuracy of acetabular and femoral matching predictions, operative time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative leg length discrepancy, postoperative Harris scores, acetabular cup prediction accuracy, preoperative and postoperative VAS scores, postoperative inclination angle comparison, and length of hospital stay. Two researchers (KW and YD) independently conducted the data extraction process. Any discrepancies that occurred during the extraction process were addressed through discussion and a review by a third reviewer (YC). If disagreements persisted, more experienced researchers (DX) were consulted for guidance until a consensus was reached. (Table 1 .)

Assessment of Article Quality and Risk of Bias In our study data, four studies were randomized controlled trials (RCTs), while the remaining studies were non-randomized controlled trials, including six retrospective cohort studies, two case-control studies, and three prospective cohort studies. Therefore, we adopted two different evaluation methods for assessing the quality of the articles. For the RCTs, the revised Cochrane risk-of-bias tool for randomized trials (ROB 2) was used, while the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) was employed to evaluate the risk of bias for the non-randomized intervention studies included in our analysis. Statistical analysis To compare artificial intelligence (AI) with traditional methods in THA preoperative planning, we summarized the data for the experimental and control groups in each study and conducted a statistical analysis using a random-effects model. Since the collected data included both binary variables and continuous variables, in our analysis, we created forest plots that displayed either odds ratios (OR) for binary variables or mean differences (MD) for continuous variables. Heterogeneity was evaluated using the I² statistic, where I² > 50% was considered indicative of substantial heterogeneity, and I² ≤ 50% indicated low heterogeneity. We illustrated the risk of bias using risk-of-bias plots and bar charts. The odds ratios (OR) or mean differences (MD) between the AI and traditional method groups were calculated with 95% confidence intervals (95% CI). The data were analyzed using RevMan version 5.4. Results We included 15 studies [ 21 – 35 ] . Among the four randomized controlled trials (RCTs), two had no high-risk biases, while the other two each had one high-risk bias in terms of incomplete outcome data and selective reporting bias. Overall, the quality of the RCTs was quite high. For the 11 non-randomized controlled trials included, the NOS scores ranged from 4 to 8, with most scoring between 6 and 7. The NOS scale ranges from 0 to 9, and studies scoring above 4 are considered of moderate to high quality. Thus, the quality of the included studies was relatively high. Details can be found in the risk-of-bias assessment chart (Fig. 2 ). Since the baseline characteristics during preoperative planning showed no statistical differences across studies, the postoperative statistical data are more comparable. We conducted multiple subgroup analyses of the intraoperative and postoperative data included in the studies. The results generally indicated that the AI group demonstrated advantages over the traditional method group in terms of preoperative planning accuracy, reducing surgery time, and lowering surgical risks. Prediction Accuracy for Acetabular and Femoral Sides: The comparison is made between the preoperative planned prosthesis and the prosthesis actually used during the surgery. If the two are an exact match or differ by no more than one size (in THA, a difference of one size between the predicted acetabular or femoral prosthesis and the actual prosthesis used during the surgery is generally considered acceptable; the size difference of one size varies depending on the prosthesis type and the design specifications of different manufacturers, typically ranging from 1 to 2 millimeters), they are considered to have an accurate match. The predictive matching accuracy for the acetabular side [22,23,25–29,31−34] in the AI group compared to the traditional method showed an OR of 0.26 (95% CI, 0.20–0.34). For the femoral side prediction accuracy [22,23,25–29,31−34] , the OR was 0.25 (95% CI, 0.19–0.32). In both cases, the odds ratio (OR) for the experimental group compared to the control group was less than 1, indicating fewer prediction errors in the AI group, which suggests superior accuracy. (Fig. 3 .) Postoperative Leg Length Discrepancy (LLD): LLD refers to the length discrepancy between the lower limbs on both sides of the patient after THA. Specifically, it refers to the difference in skeletal length between the operated leg and the opposite leg, which is typically assessed through imaging examinations (such as X-rays or CT scans) or physical measurements (such as bedside measurement). A postoperative length difference of 1–2 centimeters is generally considered acceptable. Nine studies [ 21 , 23 , 25 – 28 , 30 , 31 , 33 ] reported postoperative leg length discrepancy (LLD). The mean difference (MD) between the experimental group and the control group was − 0.49 (95% CI, -0.59 to -0.39). This indicates that preoperative planning with artificial intelligence resulted in lower leg length discrepancies postoperatively compared to the control group. The surgical error margin in the experimental group was smaller, leading to better postoperative adaptation for patients. (Fig. 4 .) Surgical Time and Intraoperative Blood Loss: Eight studies included data on surgical time [ 21 , 23 , 25 , 26 , 29 – 31 , 33 ] , and five studies [ 21 , 23 , 25 , 29 , 33 ] reported intraoperative blood loss. The mean differences (MD) between the experimental group and the control group were − 16.07 (95% CI, -18.00 to -14.00) and − 45.91 (95% CI, -61.03 to -30.78), respectively. These results indicate that preoperative planning with artificial intelligence (AI) for THA, compared to traditional methods, resulted in shorter surgical times and reduced intraoperative blood loss. Shorter surgical times can effectively lower surgical risks, including reducing the likelihood of infections caused by prolonged exposure. Decreased intraoperative blood loss reduces patient life risk and avoids unnecessary blood transfusions, thereby mitigating transfusion-related risks such as antibody reactions. Furthermore, this reduction helps alleviate blood supply shortages, ensuring that more patients in critical need of transfusions can access the necessary resources. (Fig. 5 .) Postoperative Harris Score (HHS): HHS is a standardized scoring system used to assess the recovery of hip joint function in patients after total hip arthroplasty (THA). This scoring system takes into account the patient's level of pain, activity ability, gait, joint function and range, as well as the ability to perform daily activities related to the hip joint. The total score ranges from 0 to 100 and is interpreted as follows: 90–100 points: indicates good function with almost no issues. 80–89 points: indicates fair function, with possible mild symptoms. 70–79 points: indicates moderate function, with some discomfort and limitations. Below 60 points: indicates poor function, with significant pain or functional impairment. In other words, a higher score indicates better postoperative recovery. In this research, eight studies [ 21 , 23 , 25 , 27 – 31 ] included the postoperative Harris scores (and the preoperative Harris scores of each study showed no statistical difference, indicating that the postoperative Harris scores are more comparable). The mean difference (MD) of postoperative Harris scores in these 8 studies was 0.83 (95% CI, 0.38–1.28), which means that the average postoperative Harris score in the AI group was higher than in the traditional method group. The I² was 70%, indicating significant heterogeneity, with a P-value of < 0.05, which shows a statistically significant difference. This suggests that preoperative planning using AI results in less pain and better functional recovery postoperatively, leading to a more comfortable treatment experience for the patients. (Fig. 6 .) Accuracy of Acetabular Cup Prosthesis Prediction: The accuracy of acetabular cup prosthesis prediction refers to the degree of agreement between the size, position, and angle of the acetabular cup prosthesis predicted in the preoperative plan and the actual prosthesis implanted during the surgery in THA. If the size, position, and angle deviations of the acetabular cup prosthesis are within an acceptable range (which may vary depending on the design specifications of different manufacturers, with a general range being: size deviation of 1-2mm, position deviation of 5mm, and angle deviation of 5°), the preoperative planned prosthesis is considered to match the actual implanted prosthesis accurately. The higher the accuracy, the smaller the deviation between the preoperative plan and the actual intraoperative operation, resulting in better surgical outcomes. There are three studies [ 21 , 25 , 28 ] evaluated the accuracy of acetabular cup prosthesis prediction, with an odds ratio (OR) of 0.82 (95% CI, 0.51–1.34) and P = 0.43. Although the small sample size limits the persuasiveness of the findings, the overall trend suggests that the AI group demonstrates superior accuracy in predicting acetabular prosthesis outcomes compared to the traditional method group. (Fig. 7 .) Overall, the AI group has indeed brought significant surprises in the field of healthcare. However, AI still cannot guarantee complete accuracy, but its potential for development is vast. Discussion Advantages and challenges of preoperative planning assisted by AI in THA: Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) is currently the primary surgical method for treating persistent pain and functional limitations caused by advanced hip joint diseases. With the increasing global average lifespan and continuous advancements in surgical technology, the age range of patients undergoing THA has expanded significantly, showing a growing trend of polarization [ 2 , 22 ] . This shift not only imposes higher demands on surgical complexity but also profoundly impacts traditional medical decision-making models [ 9 ] . It is projected that the number of patients requiring THA annually will increase substantially in the future. Although THA is one of the most successful procedures in orthopedics, its outcomes can still be significantly affected by the choice of prosthesis model and the precision of implantation. Improper prosthesis matching can lead to intraoperative and postoperative complications such as early prosthesis loosening, dislocation, or even surgical failure, ultimately affecting the longevity of the prosthesis and the patient's mobility [ 36 ] . Precise matching between the prosthesis and bone, optimal implant positioning, and superior friction interfaces are key to constructing a stable mechanical structure and prolonging the lifespan of the prosthesis. To achieve these goals, comprehensive and accurate preoperative planning is crucial. Preoperative planning optimizes surgical processes, reduces unnecessary steps during surgery, shortens operation time, lowers risks, and promotes postoperative recovery [ 21 , 24 ] . In recent years, with the rise of digital orthopedic technology, three-dimensional preoperative planning based on CT or X-ray imaging data has demonstrated significant advantages in the treatment of hip joint diseases. Research has demonstrated that AI-assisted 3D preoperative design techniques can facilitate more accurate, safer, and consistently reproducible acetabular prosthesis implantation [ 26 ] . Limitations of traditional preoperative planning and the rise of artificial intelligence: Traditional manual imaging review heavily relies on the personal experience of physicians, leading to significant variations in preoperative planning accuracy. In contrast, Artificial Intelligence (AI) with deep learning technology can integrate diagnostic expertise from multiple specialists, offering more objective and precise diagnostic and planning recommendations through big data analysis. Studies have shown that, compared to traditional methods, AI excels in the predictive accuracy of prosthesis models and implant angles. For instance, AI-assisted three-dimensional preoperative planning achieves prediction accuracies of 90% for acetabular cups and 83% for femoral stems, significantly higher than the 57% and 53% achieved by traditional two-dimensional X-ray planning [ 25 ] .In our study, the AI-assisted group not only significantly improved prosthesis matching accuracy but also outperformed traditional methods in several key metrics, including shorter surgery time, reduced intraoperative blood loss, smaller postoperative leg length discrepancy (LLD), and higher postoperative Harris scores. Particularly in prosthesis implant angle planning, AI, combined with 3D printing technology and personalized navigation templates, can reconstruct individualized surgical models, optimizing implant paths and angles to minimize fluoroscopy use and surgical trauma [ 23 ] . The potential of AI in managing THA postoperative complications: The hip joint bears the majority of daily weight-bearing activities, and improper prosthesis matching can lead to postoperative complications such as early dislocation, pain, and loosening [ 37 ] . AI-assisted preoperative planning enables more accurate predictions of prosthesis models and implant angles, achieving optimal matching between the prosthesis and bone, thereby reducing the incidence of dislocations and other complications, while enhancing joint stability and prosthesis longevity [ 24 ] . LLD is one of the most common postoperative complications, considered a primary cause of postoperative pain, gait instability, and aseptic loosening. In severe cases, it may necessitate revision surgery within a short period [ 23 , 38 ] . Statistical analysis indicates that patients with AI-assisted planning exhibit significantly lower postoperative LLD means compared to the traditional method group (MD = -0.49, 95% CI: -0.59 to -0.39, P < 0.05), demonstrating statistically significant differences. Furthermore, regarding the precision of acetabular prosthesis implantation, the proportion of AI-planned acetabular prostheses positioned within Lewinnek and Callanan safe zones reached 86.32% and 83.2%, respectively, significantly exceeding the 72.73% and 69.7% achieved by traditional methods. This highlights AI's advantages in planning complex cases. Challenges and future perspectives: Although AI demonstrates numerous advantages in preoperative planning for Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA), certain challenges remain in its clinical application. First, current studies are limited in sample size and follow-up duration, and the lack of long-term follow-up data makes it difficult to comprehensively evaluate AI's impact on prosthesis longevity and functional recovery. Second, AI's development in the medical field is still in its early stages, and its reliability and generalizability in complex cases require further validation. In conclusion, AI offers more precise and efficient solutions for THA preoperative planning, with remarkable potential to optimize surgical workflows, enhance postoperative functional recovery, and reduce complications. However, the widespread adoption of AI will require large-scale, long-term follow-up studies and multidisciplinary collaboration to continually refine the technology and optimize its application strategies, paving the way for AI to achieve greater maturity in the field of orthopedics. Limitations Our study has several limitations that warrant attention and improvement in future research. First, the follow-up duration in the included studies was limited, with the longest recorded follow-up being 19.37 months [ 28 ] and the shortest only 3 months. Although the AI-assisted preoperative planning group demonstrated superior performance in prosthesis placement accuracy and correction of postoperative leg length discrepancy (LLD), it remains unclear whether these advantages in prosthesis accuracy can be sustained over medium- to long-term follow-ups. Therefore, future research should involve larger sample sizes and longer follow-up periods to validate the long-term benefits of these advantages. Second, all the studies we included were conducted in China. Although this reflects the objective findings of our screening process, the single-region research background may pose certain limitations. To ensure the broader applicability of our findings, we adhered to strict bias risk assessment methods, using the Cochrane risk of bias tool for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) for non-randomized controlled trials (non-RCTs). Fortunately, the overall quality of the included studies was relatively high. However, research conducted in a single region may not fully represent the situation in different parts of the world. Therefore, we look forward to the inclusion of more relevant studies from diverse regions in the future to enrich the research content and enhance the reliability and generalizability of the conclusions. Conclusion Compared to traditional preoperative planning methods, artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted preoperative planning demonstrates significant advantages. Firstly, AI provides a more intuitive visualization of the anatomical structure of the affected area, combined with three-dimensional technology for preoperative simulations. This enhances surgical precision and reduces procedural complexity. Additionally, the application of AI decreases the need for intraoperative fluoroscopy and repeated prosthesis measurements. These benefits not only shorten the operation time and minimize intraoperative blood loss but also effectively lower surgical risks and trauma, promoting faster postoperative recovery, reducing the incidence of complications, and ultimately preventing the wastage of medical resources. In terms of prosthesis parameter prediction and matching accuracy, AI surpasses traditional methods. This benefit aids in ensuring both the initial stability and the long-term durability of the prosthesis [ 22 ] . However, to further confirm the reliability and feasibility of these conclusions, future studies need larger-scale randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and extended follow-up periods to provide stronger evidence.AI has demonstrated extensive potential in the medical field, with vast opportunities for further development in both depth and breadth. However, it is crucial to recognize that technology is a double-edged sword. No matter how advanced AI becomes, its development and application should always be guided by principles of humanistic ethics, ensuring that it serves the health and well-being of humanity and society.

These issues may not be entirely avoidable, even for experienced surgeons, and are particularly key obstacles in surgical planning for most general orthopedic surgeons.

By analyzing key indicators such as intraoperative blood loss, surgical time, postoperative leg length discrepancy (LLD), Harris scores, and prosthesis matching accuracy, we aim to address the following questions: Can AI significantly improve the accuracy of preoperative planning? Does it contribute to long-term patient recovery and a reduction in complications? What is its potential for future development?

However, the widespread adoption of AI will require large-scale, long-term follow-up studies and multidisciplinary collaboration to continually refine the technology and optimize its application strategies, paving the way for AI to achieve greater maturity in the field of orthopedics.\u003c/p\u003e \u003c/div\u003e \u003cdiv id=\"Sec19\" class=\"Section3\"\u003e \u003ch2\u003eLimitations\u003c/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eOur study has several limitations that warrant attention and improvement in future research. First, the follow-up duration in the included studies was limited, with the longest recorded follow-up being 19.37 months\u003csup\u003e[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR28\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e28\u003c/span\u003e]\u003c/sup\u003e and the shortest only 3 months. Although the AI-assisted preoperative planning group demonstrated superior performance in prosthesis placement accuracy and correction of postoperative leg length discrepancy (LLD), it remains unclear whether these advantages in prosthesis accuracy can be sustained over medium- to long-term follow-ups. Therefore, future research should involve larger sample sizes and longer follow-up periods to validate the long-term benefits of these advantages. Second, all the studies we included were conducted in China. Although this reflects the objective findings of our screening process, the single-region research background may pose certain limitations. To ensure the broader applicability of our findings, we adhered to strict bias risk assessment methods, using the Cochrane risk of bias tool for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) for non-randomized controlled trials (non-RCTs). Fortunately, the overall quality of the included studies was relatively high. However, research conducted in a single region may not fully represent the situation in different parts of the world. Therefore, we look forward to the inclusion of more relevant studies from diverse regions in the future to enrich the research content and enhance the reliability and generalizability of the conclusions.\u003c/p\u003e \u003c/div\u003e \u003c/div\u003e"},{"header":"Conclusion","content":"\u003cp\u003eCompared to traditional preoperative planning methods, artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted preoperative planning demonstrates significant advantages.

Although AI-assisted total hip arthroplasty (THA) techniques have reached a relatively mature stage, their specific role in preoperative planning for THA remains in the research phase. Current studies are generally small in scale, and their findings appear somewhat fragmented, making it difficult to draw definitive conclusions. Against this backdrop, a systematic review and meta-analysis on the application of AI in THA preoperative planning may provide a more comprehensive and rational answer.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuestions/purposes\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompared to traditional methods, does artificial intelligence (AI) offer more and better advantages in preoperative planning for patients undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty (THA)? Does it possess potential for future development?\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMethods\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe conducted a comprehensive and systematic search in the PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases, covering the period from their inception to October 30, 2024. This study adheres to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines and has been registered in PROSPERO\u003csup\u003e[1]\u003c/sup\u003e. The included studies focused on patients undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty (THA), with the experimental group using artificial intelligence (AI) for preoperative planning and the control group employing traditional planning methods. We excluded the following: papers published on preprint servers, unpublished studies, conference abstracts, and studies registered on ClinicalTrials.gov but not yet published. Ultimately, data were extracted from 15 eligible studies.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo assess the methodological quality of the studies, we applied bias risk assessment methods based on the type of study. The revised Cochrane Risk of Bias tool was employed to assess potential bias in randomized controlled trials (RCTs). For non-randomized controlled trials, including retrospective cohort studies, retrospective case-control studies, and prospective cohort studies, we employed the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) for bias risk assessment. Due to the high heterogeneity among studies (I² \u0026gt; 50%), a random-effects model was used for the analysis.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eResults\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the 15 studies that met the inclusion criteria, a total of 2572 participants were included. These patients required primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) due to various hip diseases. Among them, 1307 patients in the experimental group used artificial intelligence (AI) for preoperative planning, while 1265 patients in the control group used traditional methods. There were no statistically significant differences in the baseline characteristics of the included patients (such as age, BMI, preoperative leg length discrepancy, and preoperative Harris score) (P≥0.05), which ensures the reliability of the predictive results.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccording to the data summary and analysis, compared with traditional methods, AI showed superior performance in the following aspects: the odds ratio (OR) for acetabular component matching accuracy was 0.26 (95% CI, 0.20–0.34; P=0.009; I²=58%), and for femoral component matching accuracy, the OR was 0.25 (95% CI, 0.19–0.32; P=0.66; I²=0%). The matching accuracy was defined with a size difference as the acceptable margin of error. The mean difference (MD) for postoperative leg length discrepancy was -0.49 (95% CI, -0.59 to -0.39; P\u0026lt;0.0001; I²=77%), the MD for surgical time was -16.07 (95% CI, -18.00 to -14.14; P\u0026lt;0.00001; I²=96%), the MD for intraoperative blood loss was -45.91 (95% CI, -61.03 to -30.78; P=0.04; I²=61%), and the MD for postoperative Harris score was 0.83 (95% CI, 0.38–1.28; P=0.001; I²=70%). In addition, the OR for acetabular cup prosthesis prediction accuracy was 0.82 (95% CI, 0.51–1.34; P=0.0001; I²=89%), and the overall average prediction accuracy had an OR of 0.25 (95% CI, 0.18–0.35; P=0.93; I²=0%).\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConclusion\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe results of this systematic review and meta-analysis indicate that artificial intelligence (AI) performs comparably to, or even better than, traditional methods in preoperative planning for hip arthroplasty. Compared with traditional methods, the AI group demonstrated advantages such as reducing surgical time, minimizing intraoperative blood loss, lowering surgical risks, and decreasing surgical trauma. These benefits help promote rapid postoperative recovery, shorten hospital stays, and reduce the occurrence of complications. Additionally, patients in the AI group had higher postoperative Harris scores, less postoperative pain, faster functional recovery, and better postoperative adaptation. AI-assisted preoperative planning for total hip arthroplasty (THA) also improves the accuracy of hip component matching prediction, reduces the likelihood of errors in clinical decision-making, effectively alleviates tensions in the doctor-patient relationship, and reduces the waste of medical resources.\u003c/p\u003e","manuscriptTitle":"Comparison of Artificial Intelligence and Traditional Methods in Preoperative Planning for Primary Total Hip Arthroplasty: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.","msid":"","msnumber":"","nonDraftVersions":[{"code":1,"date":"2025-01-07 16:06:45","doi":"10.21203/rs.3.rs-5773489/v1","editorialEvents":[{"type":"communityComments","content":0}],"status":"published","journal":{"display":true,"email":"[email protected]","identity":"researchsquare","isNatureJournal":false,"hasQc":true,"allowDirectSubmit":true,"externalIdentity":"","sideBox":"","snPcode":"","submissionUrl":"/submission","title":"Research Square","twitterHandle":"researchsquare","acdcEnabled":true,"dfaEnabled":false,"editorialSystem":"","reportingPortfolio":"","inReviewEnabled":false,"inReviewRevisionsEnabled":true}}],"origin":"","ownerIdentity":"707f1a80-685e-41bc-a01e-3f44e1f5d785","owner":[],"postedDate":"January 7th, 2025","published":true,"recentEditorialEvents":[],"rejectedJournal":[],"revision":"","amendment":"","status":"posted","subjectAreas":[{"id":42425216,"name":"Surgery"},{"id":42425217,"name":"Orthopedics"}],"tags":[],"updatedAt":"2025-01-07T16:06:45+00:00","versionOfRecord":[],"versionCreatedAt":"2025-01-07 16:06:45","video":"","vorDoi":"","vorDoiUrl":"","workflowStages":[]},"version":"v1","identity":"rs-5773489","journalConfig":"researchsquare"},"__N_SSP":true},"page":"/article/[identity]/[[...version]]","query":{"redirect":"/article/rs-5773489","identity":"rs-5773489","version":["v1"]},"buildId":"8U1c8b4HqxoKbykW_rLl7","isFallback":false,"isExperimentalCompile":false,"dynamicIds":[84888],"gssp":true,"scriptLoader":[]}
